Hi, I come across a problem, I don't whether it is a bug. Version of install is 7.1. I have something look like this: opensuse113:/home/test_install # find 1/ 1/ 1/a 1/a/b 1/a/b/c 1/a/b/c/d.txt 1/a/b/c/d opensuse113:/home/test_install # find 2/ 2/ I want to copy everything in 1/a/b/c to 2/a/b/c. So I use the command with the option -D, but it doesn't work. opensuse113:/home/test_install # install -D 1/a/b/c/* 2/a/b/c install: target `2/a/b/c' is not a directory Wht not create the directory 2/a/b/c, then copy everying? Looking forward to your reply. -- custa
